beautiful lesson!

the girl in the picture is Katie Kirkpatrick, she is 21. Next to her, her fiance, Nick, 23. The picture was taken shortly before their wedding ceremony, held on january 11, 2005 in the US. Katie has terminal cancer and spend hours a day receiving medication. In the picture, Nick is waiting for her on one of the many sessions of quimo to end.

In spite of all the pain, organ failures, and morphine shots, Katie is going along with her wedding and took care of every detail. The dress had to be adjusted a few times due to her constant weight loss.

An unusual accessory at the party was the oxygen tube that Katie used throughout the ceremony and reception as well. The other couple in the picture are Nick's parents. Excited to see her son marrying his high school sweetheart.

Katie, in her wheelchair, with the oxygen tube, listening to a song from her husband and friends.

At the reception, Katie had to take a few rests. The pain do not let her to be standing up for long periods.

Katie died.. fives days after her wedding day.. watching a woman so ill and weak getting married and with a smile on her face makes us think.. happiness is reachable, no matter how long it last.. we should stop making our lives complicated.

my sister forwarded this to me.. and i find it really amazing. it could be a fake.. but i personally believe that this is real. so i thought i should share this with you guys who haven't seen this.

could you smile knowing that ur gonna die real soon.. ? hard k? k

bye!

Rainbows..

its a picture of rainbow.. incase u didnt notice..

Rainbows. When was the last time u saw a rainbow..? or the better question is, when was the last time u saw a rainbow and went "WOWWWW... sooo nice!!!!!"

Ages ago ey? me too.. whenever i see a rainbow, i'd go.. "woowww!!! sooo nice!!!!" or when im in my dads car, and we happen to spot a rainbow while we're on the road, i'd beg him to stop the car for a minute just so that i can look at it longer..

and now it doesnt interest me anymore.. does it still make you go "wow" ? if it does, then good! haha some people never found it amazing to begin with. tat 1 i dunknow la..

k my point is

was it because when we were young and naive.. and everything we see, we find it amazing.. we'll fall for it.. issit becoz of that we find rainbows amazing..? Easily amused ?

if yes, then i wish i have a mindset of a lil kid.. i wish tat whatever i do, whatever i see.. i'd find it interesting. (except negative stuffz!) cuz i started feeling like life is so dull lately.. but i dont want to feel like that.. i dont find anything to be that interesting anymore.. i wish i do.

but a great thing happened today. I was going home today .. and i saw a rainbow! i was like.. "hah.. wow, a rainbow!"

bye!

love..!

i used to find some of the lyrics in some songs to be really over.. like, terlampau exaggerated bah. For example.. "Im so lost without you" or .. "the sound of your voice, thats what saves me" or like they say they're drowning in love.. or the love makes them go blind.. or their heart aches.. and stuff like that.

i used to find those lyrics ridiculous.. but then i realised.. love really does make a person feel those stuff.. like "Im so lost without you" couldnt get anymore true. its not just a figure of speech.. think about it.. say u just broke up.. or your gf/bf went overseas.. to further their studies or sumtin. Dont you feel lost? dont u have that uneasy feeling, you feel restless dont you? you dont LITERALLY get lost, but you feel lost.. :(

"the sound of your voice, thats what saves me" is not over exaggerated as well.. i mean, sometimes when you get in trouble, or you just screwed yourself real bad, you messed things up.. and your loved ones come up to you, or give you a call and tell you it'll be okay, giving you confidence.. and make you feel important and special, dont you feel saved?

and alot more ! but if i were to list em all down here.. can write book liao..

haha.. im not sure if im making much sense here.. but i just felt like sharing a lil bit.

bye!

p/s .. theres never a day gone by where i didnt think about u.. not one.

would you hug a homeless person?

this is extracted from the book entitled

"holding on to your faith even when God doesn't make sense"

Mr. Krebs and his wife have a 21-year-old son named Chris, whom they had been advised
to abort when still in the womb. They chose to give him life, and he was born with cerebral
palsy. He is also profoundly retarded. His parents do not regret their decision to bring him into
the world, because they believe that all life is precious. They are thankful for this son, who has
touched their lives in warm and wonderful ways.

"God has used him as he is", Mr. Krebs said.

Then he described something that happened when Chris was just seven years old. He said, "my wife worked in a hospital at the time, and i had taken Chris with me and i waited for her
in one of the family rooms. There was another man there who was not well dressed and, in
fact, was a little smelly. I went to the nurses' station to ask how much longer my wife
would be, and when i returned, i saw Chris sitting by the man. The man was sobbing, and
I wondered what Chris had done to offend him. I began to apologize.

"I'm sorry if my son offended you," i said.
"the man replied, 'Offended me? Offended me? Your son is the only person who has hugged me in the last 20 years!"

"I realized at the moment Chris had a more Christlike love for this man than
I did."

I agree whole-heartedly that there is no "junk" in God's value system. He loves
every one of us the same, and He uses each person, even the profoundly
retarded to acomplish some part of His purpose. He will also use your pain,
although it is not always immediately possible to interpret it.

his plants outside his house. so i was like.. "maybe i shud wave at him or smile or sumtin.."
so i did. when he looked at me as i was passing by, i looked back and smiled and i waved.

he looked like he just won a lottery.. he was like (O_O"). then a few seconds after the
awkward moment.. he smiled n waved back.

LOL. then we talked to each other..

*in chinese*
Neighbour : wah walking back from school ah?
Me : yalor haha, no car to use..
Neighbour : oh ic ic.. where u studying ah ?
Me : IS.. its at sttss.
Neighbour : oh my son goes to sttss.
Me : oh ic ic.. hey were u shocked when i smiled at u? >.>
Neighbour : hahahhaha ya ya sorry sorry. Cuz people in this neighbourhood dont really
smile at other neighbours.. so i was pretty suprised.

I thought i had bad breath.. or a really strong body odour when he gave me that response when i smiled at him. hahaha but it turns out.. he was shocked to see me smilin n like.. say hi to him.

Do u know what this means?!?! it means people should start bonding with their neighbours!..

do u know why sometimes u can b REALLY sad? do u know why sometimes when u start crying,
it feels like it'll never end, and ur tears just keep coming? do u know why sometimes u feel like
the saddest person EVER even tho sumtin small jz happened..?

thats because u've had really great times before.. u've experienced happiness. u've been thru great moments with ur family and frens.. give a child a lolipop, and take it away after awhile, it'll cry right? say u've never given it at the first place, the baby will have nothing to cry about. its the same concept here..

PAINTBALL ;D

ok seriously, paintball is alot of fun! its located somewhere at lokawi..
and its not too expensive for a once-in-a-blue-moon thing.

(for the guys) u know how sometimes u wish u cud hold a real gun and shoot people after playing CS or left 4 dead?

yeah hahaha it feels awesome playing it.

to play paintball, its pretty simple. just divide urselves into 2 teams, and the objective of the game is to eliminate everybody on the other team. once u get shot, ur out. and once ur out, jz step out of the arena for abit and wait for the next round to start.

before i played paintball, i felt like the bravest and toughest guy holding the paintball gun.. then when i stepped into the field.. a lil bit of fear caught up with me.. seriously, cuz nobody wants to get shot right? and when the bullet hits you, it'll hurt. as in, REAL bad. haha yea ofcoz u'll b provided with body armor and a helmet, but the armor doesnt fully protect ur body. there's still vulnerable spots, say.. ur armpits, neck, etc etc.

and when i stepped into the field, feeling scared, i tot of the people who actually fought in real wars.. they seriously have BALLS. k? k. i mean.. i was holding a fake gun, shooting paintballs, and im scared. and these people who were in the war was using REAL guns.. omg.

anyways, its a MUST-TRY thing so please try it!

heres the contact number of the person incharge of the paintball thing in KK.
0143539102.. i forgot his name so yeah.


thats all for now ;D
